After Action Report
In Milwaukee, the Bucks blew the doors off the Rockets 126-104. The tempo dragged the Rockets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Bucks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Rockets owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Bucks locker room is humming, and it showed. Rockets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Bucks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
